the Perl %ENV is cleared during startup, but the C environment is left in
tact. with a combo of forking `env` and <Perl> sections you can do this.
for example, this passes all environment variables that begin with the
letter H:
<Perl>
local $ENV{PATH} = '/usr/bin';
local $_;
for (`env`) {
next unless /^(H.*)=/;
push @PassEnv, $1;
}
</Perl>
